Consular fees

According to the Cuban Central, the official exchange rate between the USD dollar and the Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC) is now 1.00 USD = 1.00 CUC.

Effective Thursday March 17, 2011, the new exchange rate is in effect for all services provided by our Consular section at the rate of 1.00 USD = 1.00 CUC.

All consular fees must be paid in cash the day of the interview. The U.S. Interests Section only accepts convertible pesos to cover the cost of consular interviews.  All fees are per person.
